Overview: The Identity Theft Council was founded to help victims recover from the crime, to ease the burden on law enforcement, and to educate users about options to avoid identity theft. They aim to achieve the mission by: providing victims of identity theft with free access to local experts and trained counselors; working with local credit unions and banks to encourage their employees to become trained volunteer identity theft counselors; partnering with law enforcement, providing them with free training and other resources; and working with a broad network of local partners, including the financial community, law enforcement, local government, local businesses, and schools, to spread the "prevention through education" message to the broader community.
